TELLER COUNTY, COLO. -- Teller County Sheriff's deputies are looking for an arson suspect after putting out 10 intentionally-set fires in 72 hours.

Deputies said seven of the 10 fires were set Wednesday between 3:30 and 5:30 p.m. Fire crews were able to quickly put them all out, but they are warning people to be on the lookout, especially with the extreme fire danger and nearby wildfire in Park County.

Although these fires appeared to have been intentional, deputies are also reminding people that there are statewide fire restrictions until further notice.

Deputies are asking anyone with information to contact them at (719) 687-9652
